CONFERENCE DESCRRIPTION

The International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics is the premier international meeting on microwave photonic devices, systems, and applications.

The broadband, low-loss transmission capability of optical fiber links has led to much interest in their use in the distribution and control of microwave and millimeter-wave signals. Application areas include antenna remoting for wireless data and cellular radio systems, optically controlled phased array antennas, optical processing of microwave signals and broadband cable television distribution. Photonics enables new microwave system functions such as long delays lines, fast spectrum analysis, frequency conversion, probing and control of microwave devices, low phase-noise oscillators, and ultra-fast analog-to-digital converters. Conversely, microwave techniques are enabling new generations of optical communication systems with capabilities exceeding 1 Tb/s/fiber.

Associated with the evolution of these systems is the development of high-speed optical sources, modulators and detectors with bandwidths extending into the millimeter-wave region.

The International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics provides a forum for the presentation of new advances in this multi-disciplinary research area, ranging from novel devices to systems field trials. It is held annually and rotates between the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region and Europe.

The International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics co-sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, the IEEE Photonics Society, and the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), Japan.

Preparing Your Paper

Please use the following templates provided by IEEE when preparing your paper. Note that the final paper must be in Portable Document Format (PDF). The paper should have at least 2 pages and must not exceed 4 pages.

Please note that every registered Speaker can present a maximum of two papers.

Word Template

LaTeX Template

For converting your source files (Word, LaTeX, etc.) to PDF, we strongly recommend you use IEEE PDF eXpress™, a free service for submissions. IEEE PDF eXpress™ will accept your source files and create a pdf file in accordance with the IEEE guidelines (Conversion function) or, it will check your own PDF for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).

Note that IEEE PDF eXpress™ converts or checks the file, but you still must submit the final (converted) pdf file to the MWP2022 submission site.

To convert your document to PDF or to check your PDF file now.

The 2-4 page paper should be typed single space with one-inch margins on all four sides. Charts, illustrations, and figures must fit within the 2-4 page paper specification.

The 150-word Abstract will be used for publication in the program. Over length abstracts will not be accepted and will affect your ability to successfully submit your work.

The 2-4 page summary will be published in the Conference Proceedings if accepted. It must be submitted as a PDF file and an IEEE Copyright Form must be completed.

Author Notification/Copyright Agreement

Notifications are sent to the corresponding authors only.

A copyright agreement form must be completed if your paper is accepted.

If your paper is accepted, you will be prompted to log in to the submission site to complete the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) at a later date. Failure to complete the copyright form will result in your paper being withheld from IEEE Xplore.

This form allows IEEE the right to use, distribute, publish, exhibit, digitize, broadcast, reproduce, and archive, in any format or medium, whether now known or hereafter developed any materials, including written, audio and visual works.

Technical papers received outside the electronic submission site will not be accepted. Revisions will only be accepted up until the paper submission deadline.

Electronic Submission

Authors are asked to provide vital pieces of information, including, but not limited to the paper title, presentation type, and a 150-word abstract, as well as all authors’ contact information. This information must be completed in its entirety; failure to do so may inhibit your ability to successfully complete your submission.

Paper Rejections

Adherence to the instructions for preparation of the abstract and summary is imperative. Any of the following conditions may result in rejection of the paper:

1. Failure to submit the paper electronically by the submission deadline.
2. Failure to submit the 150-word abstract.
3. Failure to complete a copyright agreement.
4. Paper summary exceeds the 2-4 page limit.

*The IEEE Xplore proceedings will contain only papers presented at the conference.

*Reviewer comments will not be provided to authors.
